Harsen's Island, Michigan

A couple of months ago I got invited to take my jewelry to Harsen's Island for the shopping day during Ladies Week. What that is, is a week where the ladies that belong to this Yachet club go for a day to go shopping. They invited different boutiques and gift shops to set up a booth so these ladies could go shopping right on the island. I was lucky enough to be invited. It was an experience I will never forget. My mother in law flew out to Michigan to help me get ready. We took a week and made a whole bunch of necklace dangles, watchbands and bracelets. It was so fun to bead with her again. After all she is the one who started this addiction for me.
We started the journey early Wednesday morning after dropping the kids off and headed to Harsen's Island. Its about an hour north from where we live.
This island is so beautiful and some of the houses on this island are AMAZING!
We set up our booth at "The Old Club". It was so fun to have one of my best friends right beside me selling her cute wallets, purses, aprons and makeup bags. Click on my "Skye-O shop" tab to see all of the cute things she makes.
Here is what Tammy and I came up with for my booth. I thought it turned out pretty cute.


After all was said and done, I felt it was totally worth it. I had a blast and will not forget the incredible experience. Hopefully they will invite me back next year!

This is just outside "The Old Club". It was so beautiful to be so close to the water. I can't believe something so beautiful can be so close to Detroit.
